X Los Angeles, California, dis patch says the breach of promise suit of Louise c. Perkins against Lucky Baldwin, which promised to be sensational has evidently been compromised. Miss Perkins in her suit asked for half a million dollars damages. 4 supplemental answer has been filed in the case by the business agent of Baldwin declaring that he has paid Miss Perkins $10O and other good and valuable con alterations in fuil payment of all demands and claims that the plain tiff has in writing relieved Baldwin from any further demands. It is stated that the settlement was on the basis of $12,000. The matter will be brought to the attention of the court, when it is expected that the latest of the somewhat numer- ous breach of promise suits com menced at various times against Lucky Baldwin will be dismissed.

We clip the following sensible remarks from the Prescott Courier Ten or twelve years ago. the opin- ion prevailed in this Territory that it's stock feed would never give out ; that We could not possibly have too many head of stock. Acting upon this cxtravagant notion, old herds were allowed to increase and null tiply and the advent of new herds was heralded with delight, because of the prospect of swelling tax rolls. But series of dry summers, such as our people had not expect ed, came and old ranges starved some of the stock, 1t Is a we'll known fact that many cattle died of poverty during last spring and cattle were considered poor proper ty. Abundant rains, this summer, have changed matters for the bet ter. Cattle have appreciated in value and are again considered good property even on the old ranges. This is right, but we warn certain stockmen to keep their herds thin ned out. We warn the press against inviting owners of foreign herds to bring them here, unless they come prepared to settle upon fresh tracts of country and develop new water supplies. We have several grass covered mountains, mesas, etc, where water does not stay long on the surface. It might be preserved in tanks. but 1t takes money and work to make tanks in lava and sandstone. AS for the old ranges they are overstocked and wise cat tie raisers will show their wisdom by selling off their fat stock, during the coming fall. By so doing they will get control of money, give their remaining animals'a better chance to live, and best of all give their ranges chances.
 Nevada was once a great stock country; but overstocking worked there. also. The old ranges played put, but Of late. new forage }'iants

The San Francisco papers are full of the cloud burst that flooded No gales, drowned child and washed five houses away. One peculiar fea- ture of the flood was the action of a little Mexican boy, aged about twelve years. When his mothers house was swept away he attempted to hold to a trunk and was taken down with the current. Although the current was swift, he held on and was last seen floundering. No one st pposed that he would ever be rescued. After the storm subsided a large party went out and found him five miles from town. He was busy picking up pieces of the prop erty. but was pretty badly bruised about the head and the upper part of the body pitaph

BILE portion of which still remains to be

municipal authorities whether said debts
should be paid during the present adj

ferred, and coming administrations and
future generations be allowed to help
bear the burden for the general and last

members of the Council lean one wav.
others are inclined to the opposite. The
latter plan would, in the general estima-
